|discussion=<p>Varieties 9 (9 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p><i>Crataegus chrysocarpa</i> is one of the most wide-ranging North American species of the genus, occurring from inland of the Cascades and Coastal Ranges of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia to the Atlantic from Newfoundland to New England; it is correspondingly variable. Ashe’s type from the Rocky Mountain foothills in northern Colorado is from the south of the range. East of the Rocky Mountains, <i>C. chrysocarpa</i> is the most northerly and cold-adapted species of hawthorn in North America and nearly reaches Hudson Bay in Ontario. Rare northeastern forms are arborescent (to 70 dm).</p><!--
--><p>Variety chrysocarpa is by far the most common form through most of the species range; numerous well-marked to only slightly different forms, many accepted here at varietal level, occur in different parts of the range. The main regional variant is <i></i>var.<i> piperi</i>, a well-marked intermontane form.</p><!--
--><p>One to two year old twigs of <i></i>var.<i> chrysocarpa</i> are much darker in the east (reddish tan or darker) than in the west (light tan to gray-brown).</p>
